Living Well With Stress

Workplace stress can be triggered from many sources, including feeling that there is too much to do with not enough time, worrying about being laid off or dealing with a difficult co-worker. When combined with pressures and responsibilities outside of work, it is no wonder that people experience high levels of stress both at work and at home. Some stressful events are commonly experienced across a large group; others are unique to individuals. Stress experienced in any area can impact the many facets of an individual’s life. Left unaddressed, stress adds to absenteeism and has the potential to turn into a major mental or physical health concern. With a large portion of the population experiencing stress at any given time, it is essential to learn how to manage it effectively for increased health, well-being and workplace productivity. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Define stress and the fight/flight response; Identify personal stressors and symptoms; Develop strategies to increase personal resiliency.
